Even in 2025, there are many homes in rural Isaan still cooking with charcoal, fire pots.
Forget owning a microwave or conventional stove.
Fire pots are the only way and only thing many families can afford to cook their food with.
To use, simply insert some charcoal, (which is all home-made), light the fire and cook.
This is still a way of life for the majority of Thai’s living in rural Isaan villages; even in 2025.
Do you think you could cook like this for every meal?
